Abstract (en)

[origin: US5573369A] A fan for a vacuum cleaner has a fan housing, a motor and an impeller. The fan housing has an inlet, an outlet, a scroll-shaped side wall, a back wall and a flat front wall. The impeller has a hub and multiple blades. The blades have a leading edge that is tapered upward, a top edge that is tapered downward, and a trailing edge that is tapered downward. Such tapering of the top edge and trailing edge provides less noise and better durability without diminishing air performance.
